The old man nodded repeatedly, allowing Leo to proceed with his treatment method.
Leo took out his Golden Dragon Silver Needle and began the needlework treatment on the old man.
Leo used only three needles, employing the first technique of Bodhidharma’s Touch.
Of course, during the needlework, Leo used a bit of Spiritual Power.
After the needle application was complete and the needles were left in place for half a minute, Leo retrieved the Silver Needles and asked, “Sir, how do you feel now?”
The old man took a few deep breaths and suddenly showed a look of shock and joy on his face.
At this moment, he felt his body become lighter, his chest tightness and shortness of breath disappeared, and his weakness and fatigue were gone. He felt full of energy.
The old man couldn’t help but get up and move his limbs a bit, feeling as if his body had returned to its youthful state.
In short, the old man felt great.
He gave Leo a thumbs up and continuously praised him in the most beautiful English words.
Leo responded with a smile and then walked over to the child to check his pulse.
After checking the pulse, Leo frowned.
This child had suffered from polio.
Polio is an acute infectious disease caused by the poliovirus, which seriously affects children’s health.
The poliovirus is a neurotropic virus that primarily attacks the motor neurons in the central nervous system, particularly those in the ventral horn.
Most patients are children aged 1 to 6 years old. The main symptoms include fever, general discomfort, and in severe cases, limb pain and varying degrees of flaccid paralysis, commonly known as poliomyelitis.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the child’s mouth was crooked, and his right eye couldn’t fully close.
These were sequelae left after polio treatment.
The child just looked at Leo with slanted eyes without speaking.
Leo directly asked in English, “Did you have polio?”
Hearing the word “polio,” the child’s eyes showed obvious panic and fear. He pointed to his mouth and made “ah ah” sounds.
“Can’t you speak?” Leo asked in surprise.
The child quickly nodded.
Leo comforted him, “Don’t be afraid or nervous. I can cure your sequelae and help you speak.”
Hearing Leo’s words, the child’s eyes immediately lit up with hopeful joy.
Leo told the child not to move and then took out the Golden Dragon Silver Needle to start applying needles to specific acupoints on the child’s body.
While applying the needles, Leo used Spiritual Power. The process took longer than it did for the old man, lasting a full twenty-five minutes.
When Leo retrieved the Silver Needles, the sequelae left by polio disappeared. The child’s mouth was no longer crooked, and his right eye could fully open and close.
The child didn’t yet realize that his sequelae had disappeared. He still looked at Leo with expectant eyes.
Leo asked the female translator to bring a mirror and handed it to the child.
When the child saw the changes in his face through the mirror, he smiled brightly as if he had received a long-desired toy and became very excited.
Seeing the child’s joyful expression, Leo also felt happy inside and said with a smile, “You can try speaking now.”
The child, fully believing in Leo’s words, opened his mouth and said “ah.”
A long-lost sound came from the boy’s mouth.
Overjoyed, the boy tried to say a short sentence in English: “Thank you…”
Perhaps because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, his words were somewhat stiff and unclear.
However, both Leo and the female translator understood that he was saying “Thank you!”
Then the boy jumped off the chair and hugged Leo gratefully.
At that moment, Leo’s heart softened immensely.
Healing this boy might have been a simple task for Leo, but for the boy, it could change his entire life’s destiny.
For a healer, being able to change a child’s originally tragic fate is the greatest joy.
After the hug, Leo affectionately patted the boy’s head and then walked to the last patient.
The female translator started timing again.
The woman didn’t remove her mask but looked at Leo with light blue eyes without speaking.
Leo didn’t check her pulse but directly said, “You are not sick!”
Upon hearing this, the woman was visibly stunned, her calm gaze turning complicated.
“No, I am sick, here!” The woman pointed to her cheek and reluctantly removed her mask.
When the mask came off, revealing her face, Leo’s expression changed slightly.
The woman’s cheeks, mouth, and nose area were covered with various red and green pimples, looking quite unpleasant. No wonder she wore a mask.
Having just witnessed Leo cure both the old man and the boy, she was full of hope and couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor, can you cure my face?”
Leo nodded.
To be honest, for this kind of symptom on her face, the best method would be medicinal poultices.
But since this was a competition and poultices take too long to show effects, needlework was still necessary.
As soon as the female translator started timing again, Leo took out two Silver Needles and inserted them into two acupoints on the woman’s neck.
This was the first step to numb her facial skin.
Next, Leo requested medical rubber gloves to begin the second step-squeezing pimples on her face!
As each pimple was squeezed out, unpleasant liquid flowed down her cheeks…
It was truly an unpleasant sight.
The female translator quickly turned away, unable to watch any longer.
Leo suppressed his nausea with a serious expression as he continued squeezing pimples on her face.
Time passed minute by minute. After twenty minutes, Leo finally squeezed out all of her pimples.
At this point, her face was covered with red and green liquid-truly a ghastly sight.
Next, Leo sprayed disinfectant on her cheeks.
She only felt a cool sensation on her face without any pain.
Then Leo used disinfectant wipes to clean off all the unpleasant liquid from her face.
Finally, Leo began applying needles to her cheeks.
